Trail Overview

Bruin Point trail is a 5.5-mile point-to-point trail that climbs almost 3000 feet starting in Water Canyon to the top of Book Cliffs. This is a maintained road that has mud holes under 12 inches in depth. There are some steep climbs that are easier in 4LO. Enjoy the great views of the valley below from atop of Bruin Point. Between late June to September (after snow melt off), this trail connects to Cottonwood Canyon trail, then into 9 Mile Canyon. As you travel up Water Canyon, you will see many remnants of old mines and a mining tram system.
